Risk & Reward Indicator - SRRI:
The Synthetic Risk & Reward Indicator (SRRI) measures the level of risk associated with investing in a financial instrument. The indicator uses a scale from 1-7, with 1 indicating the lowest risk. The risk indicator is based on historical data, which may not be a reliable indicator of the future risk profile of the financial instrument. Low risk is associated with lower volatility and usually lower returns, but the lowest risk category does not mean zero risk. Conversely, the higher the risk category, the greater the volatility of the financial instrument and its potential return. The risk category presented is not guaranteed and may change in the future. The SRRI also applies to the informational documents of Mutual Funds: 1-2: Low Risk, 3-4: Medium Risk, 5-7: High Risk.
